Falling Short | Ernesto Cisneros

3 posts | 3 read | 1 reading

Ernesto Cisneros, Pura Belpré Award-winning author of Efrén Divided, is back with a hilarious and heartfelt novel about two best friends who must rely on each other in unexpected ways. A great next pick for readers who loved Ghost by Jason Reynolds or The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Pérez. Isaac and Marco already know sixth grade is going to change their lives. But it won't change things at home--not without each other's help. This year, star basketball player Isaac plans on finally keeping up with his schoolwork. Better grades will surely stop Isaac's parents from arguing all the time. Meanwhile, straight-A Marco vows on finally winning his father's approval by earning a spot on the school's basketball team. But will their friendship and support for each other be enough to keep the two boys from falling short?

Isaac and Marco are best pals, but 6th grade brings a lot of changes; in their families, their grades, and trying out for sports š¸€. MG novel that is funny and sad, but hopeful all at the same time.

This is a fun MG story about best friends who decide that middle school is going to be different. This is especially true for Marco who is short & studious, not the athletic powerhouse his father would like him to be. For any kid who‘s ever felt they aren‘t good enough, Cisneros writes a story inspired by his own academic & athletic trouble to tell them they are more than good enough. A positive, hopeful, funny story. On sale 3/15/22.
